My mind has been stained with a past
with effects I pray that don't last (God bless)
I shoo my demons away
ensurin' one good deed a day (God bless)
Elicit an interest, I'm happy to visit
a show - I'm unwillin' to miss it
And if you're a demon, you're not on the list
Held a gesture that may seem explicit
Exhausted and sweaty, my hands in the air
as I'm praisin' the lord as my savior
Demeanor is just, showin' nothin' but care,
second-guessing my tender behavior
Belated display of the human decay
as forgiveness is out of our way
With nothin' to say, my silence speaks volumes
I call you, appalled to this day
The demons appear to be trustworthy
but trust me, do not be deceived
and open your eyes as I beg that you must hurry,
otherwise it's a shock you'll receive
I know in my heart that I'm playin' the part
of a victim who happened to listen
The voices who lust for a shatter of trust
are now quiet and seemingly missin'
My mind has been stained with a past
with effects I pray that won't last (God bless)
I banish my demons away
as I leave with little to say (God bless).
